Kolkata witnessed another
historic rally of hundred thousands people that roared against
imperialist aggression over third world nations. Peoples mostly from the
districts of South Bengal participated with full of enthusiasm to mark
their protest against US aggression and to commemorate the Anti
Imperialist Day of 1st September. Left Front like every previous year
organized the anti-imperialist rally this year too. All state
leaderships of Left Front led the rally from the front. The rally, as
was scheduled, started sharp 1pm from Rani Rashmoni Road. The face of
the rally took more than 2-30 hours to reach Deshbandhu Park when the
tail was waiting at Rani Rashmoni Road. The rally was fully decorated
with flags, festoons, and most importantly the mobile tableaus that
remained most attractive part of the rally this year too. It was exactly
4-30 when the last tableau along with people reached Deshbandhu Park.
Like the city of Kolkata, another urban hub of West Bengal Siliguri too
witnessed an equally big anti imperialist rally where people from
different corners of North Bengal made that a grand success.

The prime slogans pronounced by the historic rally were:

(i) US Militarization over developing countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and countries of Latin America;

(ii)
Financial Imperialism through FDI in retail sector, privatization of
Insurance sector, Pension funds etc. over countries like India that
causes intrusion in the internal economy of these developing countries;

(iii) Deaths of millions of people and huge loss of property in sponsored terrorist activities by ally powers like Israel etc.

(iv) So the final slogan was to safeguard political, financial and social sovereignty across nations.

While addressing the
crowd at the end of the rally the CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Buddhadeb
Bhattacharjee drew a whole backdrop of Imperialism primarily led by USA
to correlate the magnitude of the contemporary imperialist aggression in
the world. Having mentioned the Atom Bomb attack over Hiroshima and
Nagasaki as a birth of today’s US led imperialism, Bhattacharjee
explained that the nuclear attack against Japan was to throttle the
battle for freedom in different countries after the Second World War,
primarily either against the colonial rulings or the nationalist
struggles. The subsequent attack against Vietnam and Korea were among
the deadliest invasions of US and allied forces. US imperialism killed
progressive African icons like Patrice Lumumba and many others. In Latin
America US time and again attacked countries like Chile, Venezuela,
Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama etc.

They devastated
Afghanistan; brutally killing Saddam Hussein they demolished Iraq but
could not find the mass destructive weapons; they sponsored internal
terrorism in Libya, Syria etc in the name of founding democracy in these
countries. Basically they want global OIL control, so they terrorize
oil rich countries, said Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

Now the danger of
imperialism comes in a different direction when US and allied countries
target China and trying to set base in India. We won’t tolerate US base
in India to blockade India and would launch bigger protest.

Like Militant terrorism
the USA is now promoting financial imperialism in countries like India
and other third world nations. US imperialism is now intruding in every
internal economic sector of the third world or developing nations. Bank,
Insurance, Pension Funds, Food Security are nowadays facing US policy
controlling and the Central Government of India is trying to promote
such intrusion. Who will control agriculture? If shopping malls are
going to sell food and agricultural products our farmers will lose
control over its own market forever. They are already facing such
intimidation, averred Bhattacharjee.

India is trying to set up
a strategic partnership or alliance with USA. What strategic alliance
is this? We will protest against any of such alliance. US Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton had made her visit in this state. It was
unprecedented for any Indian state that nobody since independence had
faced such a situation. Why did she visit Writers’ Buildings? This is a
very alarming situation. We need to be more cautious, said
Bhattacharjee.

Left Front Chairman Biman
Basu while congratulating the people for making the rally a great
success said that US led force are using our markets to meet their
internal crisis. They are trying to control our economy. So we must keep
our struggle on against such imperialist aggression. If any of US
official comes to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of great
Indian Philosopher Swami Vivekananda on 12th January next year, the
state will definitely revolt.
